Asschepoester door haar deugd en schoonheid / Wordt verheven tot de vorstelijke waardigheid / Cendrillon par sa vertu et sa beauté / Est élevée à la première dignité 1866 - 1902

This 1866-1902 hand-colored woodcut print by Franciscus Antonius Beersmans is a pictorial version of the fairytale Cinderella. The artist uses vivid colors to depict multiple scenes in the story, from Cinderella's humble beginnings to her triumphant wedding. The print is written in both Dutch and French, which suggests it may have been published in a bilingual or multilingual setting. The artwork is a charming example of woodcuts and is also a fascinating window into the illustration of classic fairy tales in the late 19th century.
